Problems importing .stp files

[ FlexSim 18.2.2 ]

Hello,

I'm having problems importing .stp files from a client. These are 3D shapes.

Some shapes import fine and some crash Flexsim.

File size is not the issue because some large ones work and some small don't and vice-versa.

They were all exported at the same time in the same manner by the client.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Could there be a maximum number of .stp files that Flexsim can import? I have only about 6-7 so far.

Thanks,

I doubt it would have to do with the number of stp files imported.

It is probably an issue with the particular files. We would need you to send us the problematic files in order for us to debug why they are causing FlexSim to crash.

It could be a bug with the client's exporter or it could be a bug with FlexSim's importer. We would need to debug the shape to determine where the issue is.

I will send it to you as a private email.

By the way, they use Siemens NX 11.
